One of the World's FIRST MOVIE THEATERS
Edison's VItascope Theater
opened in
Buffalo, New York
October 19, 1896

...in the basement of the new Ellicott Square Building, they added what they called Edison’s Vitascope Theater, which they opened to the general public on Monday, 19 October 1896, in collaboration with Rudolph Wagner, who had moved to Buffalo after spending several years working at the Edison laboratories. Terry Ramsaye, in his book, A Million and One Nights [p 276], notes that this "was one of the earliest permanently located and exclusively motion-picture exhibitions."  (Ranjit Sandhu)
